The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 244
Qin Yuyi Feixia was so ashamed that she couldn't bear it, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Qin Liangyu and remained silent.

She did not admit that she had an affair with Huang Han and did not defend herself, this attitude was clearly revealed.

Zhang Fengyi remembered Qin Yuyi's nonsense blurted out at the gate of Yichun Courtyard, and she knew what she said, so she changed the subject and said:

"Mother, I analyze that the victory of the 'Red Banner Army' should be a certainty, but there should be some variables. The key is whether Liaodong Jiannu will rush to Da'ankou regardless of the consequences to block Huang Han's retreat."

Talking about military affairs, Qin Liangyu was really attracted, she pondered for a while and said:

"Jiannu is also accustomed to the tactic of running. If they get news, they are not afraid of running to the death of their horses, regardless of the reduction of personnel along the way. They can do it by running for more than a thousand miles in four or five days.

Jiannu didn't need to know the exact location of the 'Red Banner Army', as long as they went to Da'ankou in advance and cut off Huang Han's return, the location of the 'Red Banner Army' would be discovered sooner or later.

That Huang Han is a master of returning grain to the warehouse. He must be reluctant to throw away the captured Qingcheng. It is impossible to retreat lightly immediately. If it is delayed for three to five days, it is still possible to be surrounded by Jiannu's reinforcements outside Da'ankou. "

Hearing Qin Liangyu's analysis, Qin Yuyi immediately knelt down a few steps and came to Qin Liangyu hugging her leg and said sadly: "Mother, my daughter begs you to help him, if he is blocked by Jiannu, his character will definitely Impossible to survive."

Qin Liangyu wanted to test Qin Yuyi's strategic thinking, and asked, "Why can you confirm that mother can help? Don't you also have a strategy in mind?"

"My daughter's thoughts must have been guessed by my mother. There is no foresight, just let the white soldiers and the Liaodong Ming army put on an attacking posture on the front line of Jinzhou."

This coincided with Qin Liangyu's consideration, and the old lady's complexion immediately improved a lot, she said:

"Is it possible to mobilize the Ming garrisons in Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan on a large scale? At this time, even the mobilization of the white-armed soldiers can no longer be the master, so the Ministry of War has to write."

"Mother, my daughter knows that you have a plan in mind, you can directly ask for an order from the Holy Emperor, and the Holy Son of Heaven definitely expects the 'Red Banner Army' to return victorious.

In order to cooperate with Huang Han's surprise attack, it is a trivial matter for the emperor to order the garrison in Liaodong to pretend to move. Even if other people in Liaodong are not active, the movement made by the brother's 7000 troops is enough to confuse Jiannu. "

Qin Liangyu nodded and said: "You have made great progress in the art of war over the years, but I don't know why you are so confused about Huang Guerrilla? Sigh! There is only a slight possibility of you, mother will be successful, mother really likes that boy Jun, Yu Yi! Fate is really hard to come by!"

Qin Yuyi's mind was aroused again and she burst into tears again, Qin Liangyu sighed and said: "It's not too late, mother will go to ask the emperor right now."

The emperor in the Forbidden City was arranging for Cao Huachun to thoroughly investigate the quarrel between Huang Han and the female general of the Baigan soldiers. Qin Liangyu came outside the palace gate and asked to meet the saint. Chongzhen also wanted to summon Qin Liangyu alone to understand the situation, and immediately sent Qin Liangyu to meet on the platform.

Qin Liangyu acted vigorously and resolutely, and she was more urgent because she had something on her mind. When she saw the emperor, she directly expressed her deep concerns about the lone "Red Banner Army", and asked for an order to mobilize the Ming army in western Liaodong to feign movement in eastern Liaodong.

Chongzhen was also considering giving assistance to the "Red Banner Army". Qin Liangyu's plan was balanced and stable, which was in line with the emperor's heart. Then Liang Tingdong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was summoned.

After Liang Tingdong came to the platform and learned the inside story, he was extremely excited. How long ago did the Ming army take the initiative to attack?
This seems to have been a long time ago. It has been so long that the civil, military and people of the Ming Dynasty have forgotten the glorious past of Cheng Zu's sweeping north and beating the Tartars.

Now that he is the minister of the Ministry of War, the Ming army actually took the initiative to attack the Karaqin people in the north. Of course, Liang Tingdong must try his best to give support to the "Red Banner Army".

If Huang Han wins and returns to the court, not only will his life as Minister of the Ministry of War be much easier, but the entire Ming Dynasty will be encouraged.

The scheming Liang Tingdong thought over and over again. He suggested that the emperor did not need to issue an imperial decree to mobilize the troops, nor did he need to tell the truth about the Ming army outside Shanhaiguan. The Ministry of War should issue an order to urgently change defenses and strengthen the frontline garrison in Jinzhou.

This move was indeed quite clever, the Ming army suddenly invested tens of thousands of horses in Jinzhou, it is strange that Jiannu who were confronting each other were not suspicious, and besides, Daming had just suffered a big loss, so it should be reasonable to take some actions to retaliate.

Chongzhen thought it was right, but his starting point for considering the problem was somewhat different from Liang Tingdong's.

He knew that the Guan Ning Army and the "Red Banner Army" were incompatible, and if he found out that the increase in troops was just a feint to cover Huang Han's surprise attack, the Guan Ning Army's central security would not allow someone to deliberately leak the secret to them. To build a slave is self-defeating.

The speed with which the Liaoxi Ming army executed orders was the key to successfully restraining Jiannu. Qin Liangyu took the initiative to send Qin Yuyi and Zhang Fengyi to lead the Ministry of War to gallop to Shanhaiguan.

The emperor issued an oral order without hesitation.He knew that the brave general Ma Xianglin led [-] white soldiers to assist in the defense of Shanhaiguan, and when Qin Yuyi and Zhang Fengyi came to deliver the order in person, the order must be executed resolutely and quickly.

Qin Liangyu's starting point was also the same. She knew that with such an arrangement, no matter what the attitude of the Ming army outside the pass was, the son who knew the inside story would definitely make the defense change a lot.

The 3 white-armed soldiers, together with [-] people from several other chief military officers in the pass, left Shanhaiguan via Ningyuan and Songshan and entered Jinzhou, which would surely make Jiannu feel uncomfortable.

The Puppet Kingdom of Jin was too busy to take care of itself at this time. How could it be in the mood to send elites to risk thousands of miles away to attack the "Red Banner Army" who did not know the exact location or whether they had withdrawn from the grassland.

Thinking of Huang Han's safety, Qin Yuyi was really anxious. She galloped on the road with her sister-in-law and her own soldiers early in the morning. In mid-November, it was really hard to ride a horse in the ancient road wasteland...

Relatively speaking, Huang Han was much more comfortable. When he set up camp, the infantrymen worked together to complete the construction of a large yurt under the guidance of a dozen Tartar captives. It is the lodging place prepared by the soldiers for the teacher.

Seeing that this place is big enough, Huang Han simply brought four guards and called Shang Hanzi, Song Pengfei, Yang Danian and others to share this yurt.

In the end, there were more than [-] people living in the yurt, and it didn't feel crowded, but the smell of foot odor was too strong. Finally, Huang Han ordered the soldiers sleeping in the yurt to wash their stinky feet before they would come in.

After their victory, the "Red Banner Army" ate well and slept soundly, completely ignoring the Karaqin Tartars [-] or [-] miles away.

They didn't know at this time that today's battle was enough to defeat others. Thousands of Karaqin people who spent the winter in Qingcheng ran away that night, including older and younger men, and Tatars who could control strings. The son ran away as many as one or two thousand.
